Coffee Holding Company (JVA) popped to a one-year high of $8.20 on Friday after the company reported its fourth-quarter results. For the quarter ended Jan. 31, Coffee Holding Company reported net income of $1.37 million, or 22 cents per basic share and 21 cents per diluted share, up from $0.94 million, or 15 cents per basic share and 14 cents per diluted share, in the same period one year earlier. Net sales declined year over year to $27.35 million from $31.32 million. The company noted in its statement that the decline stemmed from "lower coffee prices as coffee prices continued to decrease on an unabated slide to a seven year low during the same period, partially offset by a 13.7% increase in pounds of green coffee sold as our business continued to shift to sales of green coffee from private label sales." Gross profit increased year over year to $4.12 million from $3.68 million. Total operating expenses decreased 1.3% year over year to $1.87 million from $1.9 million.
